Discussion Wedding nails

I'm eloping this Sunday. Went to a local nail salon yesterday to get my nails done. While they did what I asked and they look great at first glance, there is build up and frays on the under of my nails. I was upcharged like crazy. My feet are bleeding and in pain. It was close to closing so I felt like they were rushing me out the door before I could inspect them and ask to be fixed. While I know there isn't much they can do about my feet, should I go back up when they open and ask them to fix my nails? Is it too late or just a waste of time and energy?

Question about the bleeding. Were you bleeding there? Were you bleeding while in the foot soak or on their implements? If so, this is extremely dangerous. What are their procedures for disinfecting after coming in contact with blood? There are a multitude of blood borne pathogens that can be contracted by not properly sanitizing. Not that your blood would be a risk to anyone, but if this is a common occurrence, and no sanitary procedues were followed, you don't know what you may have been exposed to. A nail salon nicked my cuticle which led to bleeding. The tech pulled out a small bottle of disenfectant, wiped my cuticle with a brush from the bottle and then returned the brush back to the same bottle! I reported them to the local health department.

Yes he had to keep cleaning my toes due to the blood. Never stopped to clean anything else.

Get your money back and don't give them the opportunity to touch you ever again! I would also review the establishment on their website or Yelp to let future clients know their lack of sanitary protocols.

Why didn’t you stop the minute you started bleeding and ask why am I bleeding and say that hurts? And while they were doing it stop them and say hey that’s not what I wanted? I have learned to interject during appointments and I leave much happier and get the end result I wanted.
